Pompeii and Herculaneum shore excursion

Enjoy vivid two-hour walking tours of both Herculaneum and Pompeii with a private guide and transportation. This tour consists of a marvellous walking tour with an archaeologist around the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Begin your journey in Herculaneum, a smaller but better-preserved site compared to Pompeii. An avalanche of mud 20 meters thick buried the city, which allows visitors to admire intact second stories, carbonized wooden objects, vivid paintings, and intricate mosaics. With your guide's explanation, the city will come to life, providing a unique glimpse into Roman daily life.

Next, move on to Pompeii, a sprawling city covered in five meters of ash. Walk its streets, which still feel alive, while your guide tells you about the history of the town and how the Romans lived. Discover the most important public buildings and private houses, experiencing the grandeur and tragedy of this ancient city.
